The bridge runs on your Windows PC alongside your MetaTrader 5 terminal. Your app connects to the bridge over your local network; your MT5 account and trades stay under your control.
DEMO_ONLY=true in your configuration.Install the MT5 desktop terminal on the same Windows computer as the bridge. Log in to a demo account and check Market Watch for your broker’s gold symbol (often XAUUSD, sometimes GOLD or a broker-specific name).
Download the XUTrader bridge files and extract the ZIP. The one-click Windows installer is not available yet, so source setup requires Python on your PC.
Download bridge source ↓Open Command Prompt in the extracted backend folder, then run:
pip install -r requirements.txt copy .env.example .env
Open .env in a text editor and fill in your demo account’s MT5_LOGIN, MT5_PASSWORD, and MT5_SERVER. Set SYMBOL to the exact gold symbol in your terminal and leave DEMO_ONLY=true.
In the same Command Prompt window, run:
uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
Keep the window open while you use the app. In XUTrader settings, set the Backend URL to this PC’s local IP and port (for example, http://192.168.1.42:8000). Your phone and PC should be on the same Wi-Fi network.
